In this article, drug addiction expert Gabor Mate, M.D., speaks on the mind-body connection and the medical and emotional potentials of psychedelics. He says the "unconscious mind" can cause medical afflictions like cancer, addiction and trauma.
In his speech at the MAPS conference, Mate rejects the assumption that the human mind and body are separate entities, and points to an inherent connection between psychological/environmental experiences and medical afflictions.
He contends that the war on drugs is actually a war on drug addicts, and speaks to the addiction cessation potential of psychedelic substances. He also discusses the potential ability of psychedelic substances, particularly ayahuasca, to reverse medical issues like cancer and addiction when coupled with therapy.
